A Problem Squared

A problem shared is a problem squared
So keep it to yourself and keep your misery over there
Though it seems I'm being mean, I really don't care
I've got enough problems of my own
Take your sad thoughts, and stick 'em in a box
Jettison your anxieties out of the airlock
Along with the regrets that you can't make yourself forget
I've got enough problems of my own

You might be down, but no need to feel dejected
Nobody's left out, 'cause nobody's protected
This itch won't quit, 'til everyone's infected
You'll never escape from this town

When your spirits rise, that's when the boot comes down
In these sad old times, just hold your breath and drown
In these sad old times, all you can do is screw around
Listening is hard, but talking is easy
I can solve all of your problems if you'd only believe me

Problems shared are problems squared
Problems shared are problems squared
Problems shared are problems squared
Problems shared are problems squared

The world is shit for everyone
